Sometimes the best education comes from taking the time to digest the day’s events in the evening.  A quiet room, no electronics on, maybe with your favorite pet on your lap.  Just quietly thinking.  Likely, you will reflect on what people have said, how you identified and responded to people, animals, the environment.  Looking back at our day gives us a barometer we can use to look at ourselves and learn and grow.  Peaceful and easy.

If your thoughts are too fast to think, take pen and paper out and write them down.  Writing forces you to physically connect with the words, slowing your thoughts with the action of writing.  Quiet time.  No music, no ambient noise.  Silence, then thinking or writing.

This is not rocket science.  It’s easy.  Don’t worry about phonetics, punctuation.  It doesn’t matter.  Your thoughts don’t need words.  Sometimes your thoughts are pictures and emotions.  Go ahead and feel them again.  Don’t be afraid of this.  Once you move through it, it flows over you like  water, and washes away.  Not scary. Simple.

These are only my thoughts.  They wander a bit.  But I believe the above process can heal us all.
